Sometimes, they are even cheerful.<br /><br />This one must have been exceptionally large. (At least, for round here.) My camera was set to its most distant zoom - the harbour wall is about two miles away and you may have noticed that that is big enough to take a building on top of it.<br /><br />I'm interested that you see container ships on the Detroit river. That makes sense given the industrial nature of the area but it still came as a surprise to me. I'll have to do some Google images-ing.3chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048900092251377796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959092944546665154.post-66859721301271725662009-08-11T13:47:48.624+01:002009-08-11T13:47:48.624+01:00Hello Reader Wil - I'm not sure what kind of...Hello Reader Wil - I'm not sure what kind of ferry you mean - but I think this vessel would probably be able to transport several.<br /><br />It's the way they are able to balance the containers which gets me - that and that the whole thing doesn't sink!3chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048900092251377796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959092944546665154.post-10570273561516120152009-08-11T13:38:01.960+01:002009-08-11T13:38:01.960+01:00I love big container ships--saw one the other mont...I love big container ships--saw one the other month at a state park in Monroe, and they're often on the Detroit River downtown.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959092944546665154.post-26751959445708412652009-08-11T13:29:12.624+01:002009-08-11T13:29:12.624+01:00Thanks for showing!
